Police plan AI experiment for anti-terror investigations / Video tech, car data to be used

 

The Yomiuri ShimbunThe National Police Agency (NPA) is planning to begin experimenting with the use of artificial intelligence in anti-terrorism and criminal investigations next fiscal year, according to sources.

 

The experiments would involve using the characteristics of past attacks in Europe to train AI to identify terrorists in crowded areas, and introducing AI systems to analyze surveillance videos in criminal investigations.

 

If the methods prove effective, they could be deployed during the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo.

 

The NPA plans to conduct experiments in three areas: identifying suspicious people and objects targeting large events; determining the model of automobiles; and analyzing suspicious financial transactions.

 

At large sports competitions, events and international conferences, surveillance cameras and other equipment would be installed temporarily to prevent terrorist attacks. The experiment would involve testing a system that uses AI to automatically detect suspicious people and objects from surveillance videos and other data.

 

In Europe, terrorists have set their sights on so-called soft targets — events where large numbers of people gather. In the 2015 Paris attacks, the terrorists targeted a soccer match involving the French national team, while a pop concert in Britain was attacked in 2017.

 

The new system would use past attacks to teach AI the signs of an impending attack and the characteristics of terrorist behavior.

 

In the midst of large crowds, the system would need to automatically detect people exhibiting unusual behavior, such as repeatedly visiting a certain location or staying in one place, and suspicious objects that are abandoned for long periods.

 

After detecting something, the system would issue a warning so police officers could assess the situation, such as to determine whether the person in question is armed.

 

Attempts to analyze videos of crowds are already being made.

 

In July, the Metropolitan Police Department partnered with major electronics maker Panasonic Corp. in an experiment at the Sumida River Fireworks Festival.

 

In the experiment, a police car parked at an intersection recorded spectators and others on video, which was used to count the number of people in a specific area and predict the direction in which people move, among other tasks.
